Lisa Wilkinson: ” I never got the chance to say goodbye to you all.”

Former Today show host Lisa Wilkinson has sent a brief farewell message to Today show viewers via Instagram:

“It’s been a helluva week. I’m only sorry that I never got the chance to say goodbye to you all…the incredibly supportive, engaged, opinionated, clever and wonderfully diverse audience of Today. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the fun years we shared, and for welcoming me into your homes each morning. It has been an absolute privilege. Lisa.xxx

“PS. This pic is from Karl’s and my very first publicity shoot way back in May 2007. Look at us, we were babies!!”

On the weekend there were more reports about her contract breakdown with Nine, speculation about gender pay parity, discussions with The Project and photos of her collecting her belongings from Nine’s Willoughby headquarters.
